SUPER SYN FREE GARLIC, SALT & PEPPER CHICKEN

Wednesday, 15 February 2017

I have been on the Slimming World plan for about 6 weeks now and today I am sharing with you my favourite ever discovery, and favourite recipe of all time. It is absolutely delicious and if you're craving that chinese takeaway this will 100% curb them with a super syn free dish that is perfect for the whole family.

SERVES FOUR

INGREDIENTS

4 large chicken breasts

half a tub of original smash

2 beaten eggs

salt

mixed peppers (sliced thinly)

1 large onion

3 tbsp of dark soy sauce

1 tbsp of garlic granules/2 finely chopped garlic cloves

greaseproof paper

low calorie cooking spray

METHOD

1. Take your 4 large chicken breasts and slice into strips creating mini fillets, I usually get about 8 strips out of each breast using Muscle Food chicken breasts, however if you're using supermarket chicken breast you may find it more beneficial to buy mini fillets already cut to size, to ensure you get the most out of the breast.

2. Evenly sprinkle a generous amount of smash granules onto a large plate, and pour your 2 beaten eggs into a wide bowl, preheat the oven to 190 degrees.

3. Take a strip of chicken dip in the beaten egg & roll onto the smash, make sure the chicken strip is evenly coated by the smash. Once battered add to a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, repeat this step until all chicken is generously & evenly battered.

4. Cook your chicken until it appears to being going golden brown on the edges, this will take around 25 - 30 minutes.

5. Whilst your chicken is cooking, thinly slice one whole large onion and if not already done so, slice your peppers thinly too. I use ready sliced frozen mixed peppers, which is way cheaper & cuts out some of the preparatory time.

6. Cook the onions & peppers together in a wok in low calorie cooking spray on a low heated hob during the last 10 minute of the cooking time for the chicken, stirring regularly.

7. Once you are satisfied that your chicken is cooked through and appearing golden around the edges, remove from the oven and move chicken from the baking tray to the wok with onions and peppers slowly cooking.

8. To the wok add 2 pinches of salt, 1 tbsp garlic granules/2 cloves of garlic and dark soy sauce. Stir all the ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated in soy sauce.

9. Stir and mix together the chicken, onions and pepper evenly until the onions and pepper are soft, serve with syn free egg fried rice (recipe here) or sweet potato wedges.
